 The Personnel Structure From the Organizational Perspective

The personnel structure from the organizational perspective makes a distinction between two situations:

  • No Integration with Organizational Management: : You have only implemented Personnel Administration or have Organizational Management as well but they are separate.

  • Integration with Organizational Management: : You implement both Personnel Administration and Organizational Management in an integrated manner.

No Integration with Organizational Management

There is no technical link between Personnel Administration and Organizational Management tables. In this case you have to set up the sequential elements of the organizational personnel structure in the Personnel Administration customizing tables.

  • Position

A position is an individual employee assignment in a company (e.g. head of marketing department, head of personnel department). A position is an organizational grouping of work that can be performed by one person.

  • Job

A job is a general classification of task areas (e.g. head of department). A job is a standard description of an activity that can be performed by a person.

  • Organizational unit

An organizational unit represents a user-defined organizational unit whose job it is to take on and carry out certain functions within a company (e.g. department, project group).

Integration to Organizational Management

There is a technical link between Personnel Administration and Organizational Management tables. In this case you have to set up the elements of the organizational personnel structure in the Organizational Management customizing tables.

Position

If Organizational Management is integrated, you must take note of the following when assigning an employee to a position:

In Organizational Management , you can link the position data to the following fields data:

  • Company code

  • Personnel area

  • Personnel subarea

  • Cost center

  • Controlling area

  • Business area

  • Employee group

  • Employee subgroup

  • Job

  • Organizational unit

This link has practical consequences on personnel actions , e.g. Hiring and Organizational reassignment .

  • Infotype 0000 Actions

When you hire a new employee, the fields Personnel area, Employee group and Employee subgroup fields in the Actions (0000) infotype can be automatically filled with values from Organizational Management, once you have assigned the relevant position.

If you decide to fill the fields Personnel area, Employee group and Employee subgroup manually, these values will be validated against the data stored for the position. If the data is inconsistent, you will receive a warning message.

If these fields already contain entries when you run hiring actions one after the other, or when you perform an organizational reassignment, and if you have not yet assigned a new position, this data is also validated against the data of the new position that you now assign.

  • Infotype 0001 Organizational Assignment

In the Organizational Assignment (0001) infotype, the field Percentage will appear. Here, you can determine the employment percentage for the position.

Note Note

You must interpret the staffing percentage entered in conjunction with the (planned) working time for this position. The (planned) working hours are stored in the position staffing schedule in Organizational Management .

End of the note.

If the staffing percentage is less than 100%, a dialog box appears. It enables you to assign the employee to additional positions within Organizational Management .

Note Note

Only one Organizational Assignment (0001) infotype record exists for Personnel Administration .

If you assign several positions, only the data for the position with the highest staffing percentage is taken into consideration.

End of the note.

Job, Organizational Unit

The job and the organizational unit are automatically derived from the position if Personnel Administration and Organizational Management are integrated.
